Model PSX-12
12 Amp Power Supply Extender

INTRODUCTION The Model PSX-12 from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a high current power supply
extender. The power supply extender works in conjunction with the PSC-12 power
supply to provide an additional 12A of regulated 24VDC for internal or external
system use.

Up to three PSX-12 modules

may be connected to one
PSC-12 power supply and
one set of batteries. The
PSX-12 has a microprocessor
controlled transfer circuit that
allows it to switch the
system power to stand-
by batteries during loss
or reduction of the AC
power.

The PSX-12 incorporates

a 18A circuit breaker on
the battery input.

The PSX-12 communi-

cates directly to the PMI/
PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS),
FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Figure 1
Fire Safety Modular), PSX-12 12 Amp Power Supply Extender
FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus
PRO Modular) to report
fault conditions and allows the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire
Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular) to query the status of the
power supply extender.

The PSX-12 mounts at the back of the enclosure of the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire
Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system and occupies one location on the
studs in the backbox or on the optional FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular Mounting Plate, CAB-MP.

Features The PSX-12 features are as follows:

• AC power input 120VAC - 240VAC +/- 10% @ 60Hz / 50Hz

• Off-line Switch Mode Power Converter
• Power Factor Correction
• Total Output power of 12A@24VDC
• Two separate power output terminals: one power limited terminal with 4A
max @ 24VDC capacity and one non-power limited terminal with 12A max
@ 24VDC capacity (total not to exceed 12A)

• Both output terminals have current measurement capability
• Auto resettable current protection circuits for overload and short circuit
• Access to CC-5/CC-2 System bus
• Communicates via HNET protocol
The PSX-12 occupies one network address in the HNET network and has three func-
tional components: the Controller, the Power Supply Extender and the Interface Board.
The Controller monitors the status of the Power Supply Extender (loss of network
communication, 24VDC terminal overload and the status of the battery). This informa-
tion is relayed to the User Interface, where applicable, and is communicated to the
PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 for system reporting. The Controller also allows the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-
3 (XLS), FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-U3 (Cerberus PRO
Modular) to query the state of the power supply extender and its current load and
can send a diagnostics command to the PSX-12.
The Power Supply Extender has an Off-line switch mode power converter and power
factor correction circuit to improve conductive RF emission at low frequency. It is
designed to take voltage inputs of 120VAC-240VAC at 60Hz/50Hz and has one
resettable circuit breaker that can also be used as a battery power switch.
The Interface Board provides diagnostics LEDs, system connections and the terminal
connections on the PSX-12.
The PSX-12 has one reset switch, six LEDs, three HNET/CAN address switches, one
circuit breaker, two terminal blocks, two terminal connections and two 60 pin flat
ribbon connections as shown in Figure 2.
A reset switch is located on the top of the front panel. Pushing the reset switch re-
initializes the PSX-12 operation.
The LEDs located at the top left of the module and are defined as follows:
POWER - (Green) Normally ON. When illuminated, indicates
that the PSX-12 is powered from the AC
mains. When flashing, indicates that the
PSX-12 is powered from the battery.
MODULE FAIL - (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated indicates
that the module microprocessor has failed.
CAN FAIL - (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indi-
cates that CAN communication with the
PSX-12 has terminated (applicable only
when PSX-12 resides in a CAN network).
HNET FAIL - (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates
that the HNET communication with the
PSX-12 has terminated and the card goes
to degrade mode (applicable only when
the PSX-12 resides in the HNET network).
24V 12A FAIL - (Yellow) Normally OFF. When illuminated, indicates
that the 24VDC non-power limited output

Always apply AC power first followed by the battery.

P12 AC input connector from the PTB, P4/P5.

60-pin Connects the PSX-12 to the system. It is a straight-through connection

between the two connectors. It contains the communication signals and
system signal bus that is necessary for the proper operation of the
system.
These connectors are power limited. If the PSX-12 is located in a
different row in the enclosure, an optional extended ribbon cable,
Model BCL (P/N 599-633997), must be used.

The following part is optional:

• If the PSX-12 is not located in the same row in the backbox (or on the same
CAB-MP) as the CC-5, an extended 60 pin flat ribbon cable,Model BCL
(P/N 599-633997), is required.

The following components must be set prior installing the module in the enclosure:

Verify that the dedicated circuit breaker for the PSX-12 is turned OFF at the mains.

• Battery Circuit Breaker: Set this circuit breaker to the OFF position.
• Network Address Switch: Set the three-digit HNET/CAN network address
for the PSX-12 using the three rotary dial address switches located near the
bottom of the front panel. (Refer to Figure 2 for the location of the
switches.) The address for the PSX-12 must be the same as the address
selected for it in the Zeus Programming Tool. To set the address, turn the
pointers on each of the three dials to the numbers for the seleted address.
For example, if the address is 123, set the pointer for the HUNDREDS dial
to “1”, set the pointer for the TENS dial to “2”, and set the pointer for the
ONES dial to “3”. The range of allowable addresses is from 001 to 251
(leading zeros must be used).

should be installed in the TOP

row and position that is

located directly above the
PTB to which it is con- PSX-12

bottom, and right with the
Mounting Plate and the
mounting screw holes of
the PSX-12 will align with Figure 4
the threaded posts. Mounting The PSX-12 On The Optional CAB-MP

1. Install four 10-32

screws in the threaded posts at the mounting position. Screw each of the 10-32
screws into the threaded posts 5-6 turns.
2. Place the PSX-12 over the four screws on the Mounting Plate and slide it down
or towards you to rest on the four screws. (Refer to Figure 4.) When the PSX-12
is in the correct position it will be flush with the top, bottom and right side of the
Mounting Plate.
3. Tighten the four screws.

WIRING The PSX-12 has removable terminal blocks and connectors at the top and bottom of
the module. The terminal block at the top of the PSX-12 is power limited. The termi-
nals and connectors at the bottom of the PSX-12 are non-power limited. (Refer to
Figure 5.)

Use a separate or dedicated circuit breaker and run the earth ground from a suitable
source to the PSX-12. Check local requirements.

Conduit is not an acceptable Earth Ground Conductor.

Wire in accordance with local codes and Article 760 of the NEC, NFPA latest edition.
In compliance with NEC, all power limited fire protective signaling conductors must
be separated a minimum of a 1/4" from all of the following wiring located within a
control panel:

• Electric light
• Power
• Class 1 or non-power limited fire protective signaling conductor
Refer to the CAB2-BB Installation Instructions, P/N 315-033009, for wiring require-
ments to comply with NEC codes and Figure 6 for battery and AC power connections.

Power Supply Load Calculations

The PSX-12 power supply load calculations are performed by the Zeus tool based on
the equipment in the physical view. Once all of the equipment is inserted into the
physical view of each enclosure and a successful compile is performed, the results
of the calculations are shown in the report view.

From the Tools menu, select Report Generation and then select System Power &
Battery Calculation Report. The report contains power supply loading results for each
PSX-12 in each enclosure. This report can be printed for a permanent record.

Battery Power Make sure that the battery circuit breaker is in the OFF position.

Use either 14 or 12 AWG for battery connection.

Battery backup is required for compliance to UL864. (15 amp hours is the minimum
size and 100 amp hours is the maximum size of the battery for the PSX-12.)

Battery Connections When BTX-1, BTX-2 or BTX-3 batteries are required, connect them to the system with
the two quick disconnects provided. Follow the steps listed below.

1. Attach one quick disconnect to the positive battery terminal and one quick
disconnect to the negative battery terminal with the 10-32 x 3/4” screws and
lock nuts supplied with the PSC-12.
2. Attach the red battery wire to the quick disconnect on the positive terminal
and the black battery wire to the quick disconnect on the negative terminal.
